EDUCATION OF MUtEs.
What One of Them Has to Say Regarding
the Deaf and Dumb Institute.

Orson Archibald, a very intelligent mute,
teils some things in regard to the Deaf and
Dumb Institute that the people of the State
should know, and may take account Of. He
says
The schoolrooms are without the apparatus
10 common In public schools, and as for the
shops, the trades ought to be taught Now,
really intelligent mute can learn all that he is
permitted to learn in few months The super
intendent and teachers are not to blame for this
condition Of affairs. 1t would be worse but for
their uncommon exertons to make the
most out OF little. The appropria-
lions are cut down, so that the
barest necessities only covered. But it
does not seem to me right that the Deaf and
Dumb Institute should be pinched as if the
school was pauper asylum. 1t ia as much a
school as any public school in the State-as
much an educational institution the State
University, or Purdue University, or the State
Normal School, and should be treated as such.
Every cent appropriated for the deaf and dumb
will in time be repaid to the State, in the form
OF good, useful citizens and ompetent workmen.
1t is not the infrmity which shuts out the deaf
mutes from SO many callings as the lack of
exact knowledge and precise training in the
methods and usages Of those callings. Imper
fectly as the mures are taught-throughn no fault
OF the management, but of the law and the
email appropriations-their wages In this State
aggregate about $4,000 annually. and many
mutes pay taxes property which they have
acquired through the knowledge and training
acquired at the institution. Their parents
mostly pay taxes, and thus, at every point you
view it, the mutes are repaying the
loan mot charity of their education.
The two thousand already educated at the insti-
tuition would otherwise be burden upon their
friends and eventually charge upon the State
Consider whether the increase Of the States
wealth annually Of $500, 900 is not better than
decrease of half that amount to support a help
less, INDECENT class The mutes have no other
school in the State. The pupil enters without
ianguage-without any knowledge of the usages
OF society-much as an animal yet with all his
faculties more less perfect save
that OF heariug-even the power of
speech unconscious and undeveloped.
Six cr.seven years then spent in learning
English-the hardest of all languages to learn
and with the study of practical arithmetic bare
~ begun, and without any knowledge of gram
mar or the usages of society, and with trade
tmperfectly acquired because mperfectly taught
by an incompetent employer, the pupil is turned
out to the tender mercIes of the world He then
finds himself in competition with the trained and
skilled employees of the trades unions, and his
imperfect skill shuts him out of callings to
which he is naturally we'll adapted.
